Part 2

Well I'm hoping that the training that Gaara and I have been doing in private will help us get strong enough to accomplish our goal. We've come up with a whole bunch of new techniques and I can't wait to try them out. I know from practice with Gaara that they work to some extent, but I don't know how long I can last in a real battle. The new jutsu that I have been coming up with takes up a lot of chakra and the bad thing is that it usually tires me out within just a few hours. I'm hoping that I can get strong enough to counter that side effect. But with all the bad dreams that I've been having lately I haven't been able to practice to my fullest extent. I try to shake them off and keep going but I can't seem to get them out of my mind, they are just there ready to help me fall right to the bottom. Gaara hasn't been himself lately, he's normally quiet but for the past couple of weeks he hasn't talked at all. I wander what's wrong with him. Maybe he doesn't want to get Sasuke back; he did hate him after all. And technically Sasuke hated Gaara as well. I just hope that we're not too late to save Sasuke, because if we are then I would have broken my first promise. Steadily for the past two years I've been keeping the demon under control; but every time I think about what Sasuke did the demon gets' all riled up, apparently the demon hates Sasuke as well. That day that Sasuke and I fought was the day that he turned his back on our bond. But that bond is what's keeping me going. He may of made the excuse that he wanted to kill me because we were friends, but I didn't consider him as a friend. I considered him as family. So I will never give up on Sasuke; I will never go back on my word, I will always keep my promises for that is my nindo…. my ninja way.
